Lasker Bldg. Alert: Temporary domestic water service disruption, March 31, 3:00 a.m. - 8:00 a.m.

Domestic water service in Lasker will be temporarily unavailable on Thursday, March 31, from 3:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m., due to plumbing repairs. During this time, hot and cold water will be unavailable, and restrooms in Lasker will also be inoperable. If needed, please use nearby restrooms in ICRC.

It is suggested that all laboratory work with hazardous materials–including chemicals, biological, and radiological materials—in Lasker be suspended while water service is unavailable due to the lack of available water for emergency eyewashes, handheld deluge hoses, and overhead emergency showers. Laboratories should perform their routine, weekly performance test on each emergency eyewash and handheld deluge hose once water services resume normal operations to verify proper equipment function.

Once work is completed, please allow faucets to run for 3-4 minutes to ensure constant flow and pressure. Water may appear brown at first, but will turn clear as it continues to run.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your cooperation as we work to improve our facilities. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at 212-305-HELP (4357), option 3.
